LiDAR BASED MONITORING IN MATERIAL HANDLING ENVIRONMENT

A method of monitoring an operation in a material handling environment is described. The method can include obtaining a data stream representative of a 3D-scan of a target area based on an output from a LiDAR based sensor. Further, the method can include obtaining operational specification data. The operational specification data can include, data related to a standard operating procedure (SOP) and a pre-defined heuristic. The pre-defined heuristics can be associated with an operation to be performed by at least one of: a machine and an operator, in the material handling environment. Furthermore, the method can include generating a machine learning model. The data stream and the operational specification data can be provided as inputs to train the machine learning model. Furthermore, the method can include determining, by using the machine learning model, a performance status associated an efficiency of the execution of the operation.
